The best in the world, or so we've been told!

The sexy steampunk Truth Coffee Roasting Shop in Buitenkant street, Cape Town, has been mentioned by acclaimed UK news agency, The Telegraph, as being the very best in the whole world! 

Radically designed steampunk-themed coffee shop

Who are we ?

We are artisan coffee roasters, first and foremost. We roast coffee properly!

What do we do ?

First we select exquisite micro lots of green coffees. We then roast each one individually, to it's optimum, on a vintage cast iron drum probat with modern electronics. We then blend the single origins produced for each purpose.

Why ?

We want to make your coffee in the cup deliver upon the promise made by the aroma of freshly ground coffee.
